Things seem different now here too.
Orlando sfh is now around the $800k range, considerably higher than I remember.
Also, the job market here seems a lot more competitive now for people locally here. We lost more people on the Orlando region to other employers than an any other region. It seems actually we have not lost nearly as much headcount for our west coast or Midwest remote workers. One reason could be we pay for remote workers a lot more competitively than our local FL workers because we (erroneously) think because they are local,we only need to compete with other local employers with presumably a lower payer…
Btw..the disney resort and universal studios resort was packed with people. Onsite resort hotels are booked fully and it’s not even summer yet. Seems like inflation is not curtailing this sort of “staycation” spending. In fact, it seems to suggest there’s more of it…because people aren’t willing/able to spend on those bigger more expensive vacation trips , so more of them are doing the staycations…
I mean check out this Harry Potter themed area @Universal. It’s not even a weekend and not even past noon time, and the place was crowded
